In 10/17 I bought the above vehicle from private owner. From the time I started driving it to currently, the control display has been showing a passenger airbag and/orseatbeit warning. The current warning reads: "pass. Restraint system. Fault in passenger-restriant system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt force limiter." the display between the speedometer and tachometer shows a red airbag symbol and a red fasten seatbelt symbol, which do not go off with operation of vehicle. These 2004/2005 bmw 545i had a the federal safety agency safety recall (08v384000) but certain vins, including mine were not included. I cannot understand why, because clearly not knowing whether your airbag & belt tensioner & belt force limiter are working properly is a safety issue. I am not the only one with this concern, please see at least 10 other people listing this problem with "www.carproblemzoo.com" under bmw 545 I seatbelt problems. My mechanic has tried several times to reset these warnings, but they always come back. The federal safety agency's job is to protect car owners re real safety concerns; I ask that you please do this. How would you like to have a passenger in the front seat and not know if airbags and seatbelts will operate properly in the event of a crash?20 thank you. *js

Same problem everyone else has with passenger side air bag malfunction. $1500+ repair, but will do it again, as it is faulty parts. Someone sits down in the passenger seat too hard, and it sets off the warning.

Takada recall. My car's make cracking noise or groaned noises as some other e60 owners described. The noises sounded as the car start rolling at low speed whether go straight or turn a little to left or right. It's happened every time. The airbag light come on during drive and it is off when I shut off the engine. The next time I start the car is still remain stayed on, and it's goes off during drive. The steering wheel seems not firm unlike e39 is more firm. I found a forum where the e60 owners had similar problem and the dealer solved the problems I mentioned above by just replace the takata airbag and maybe an update of software involved. In conclusion to my complaint regarding takada airbag the bmw should open a recall for my car or add my car to the recall list as it's not safe for me and my family. Please help, thank you.

I came back from my summer holiday, and restarted my car. A lot of warnings appears on the odometer. About engine, airbags, steering, tire pressure, and seat belt. (I have checked the tire pressure, it is normal. And I always lock the seat belt before driving). In addition, the navigation screen and radio died. Furthermore, the car lose electricity after it shuts down. After more than 3 hours of shut down, it won't have enough power to re-ignite. I check on the federal safety agency website that there are three recall issues that my car was included, and related to the issues I am reporting right now. About air bags (08v384000), engine (12e029000), and electrical system (12v126000). But I cannot find out any information by my VIN number on the federal safety agency. It is a used car, I am not sure whether the former user responded the recall before. Even if this car was recalled before, I don't know whether it was fixed properly, and the similar issues would not happen again.

Airbag light is on. I am very sure that it is the floor mat pressure sensors for the airbag system.

Not too long ago I had my car parked on a street on a sunny day. I got in the vehicle and started it and received a message on my idrive saying that there is a passenger restraint system malfunction and a airbag light along with the seatbelt light lit up on the dash. Dealer says that there is no recall for this issue yet online I've read that my model does in fact have a recall for this issue.
